Sedating the Pediatric Patient: How and Why

Designed for the pediatric dentist or anyone who sedates children, this seminar reviews the current practice of pediatric minimal and moderate sedation. Monitoring, nitrous oxide/oxygen minimal sedation, drug selection and office protocols are reviewed. Despite best practice, sedation and medical emergencies can and will happen. Early Identification and intervention in an emergent situation with specific treatment protocols are presented. There is a wrap-up session at which time questions, comments, and experiences can be shared by all.

Learn to:
• identify the appropriate choice of drugs and protocols for safe and effective sedation
